He might be open to a sleazy three way deal.

Being a bit harsh on Nicho, he was actually a lot more effective than people think, just didn't look glamorous. He dropped away in his latter years, which is what people tend to remember.

James Frawley's another good example of a full back who's athletic ability outweighs his football ability.

Don't know enough about Tippet....is he strong enough? That would be my concern.

bit harsh on terlich and jones

Appalling. In fact I'd go so far as to say disgraceful given their loyal and effective service under great difficulty this year.

Who's to say they won't improve further with a second preseason under their belts and 20 games experience?

LIKE!

Jones & Terlich were inspired pick ups given how quickly they transitioned to the AFL.

It also highlighted just how bad our midfield/side was.

Magner was our best player in the first three games he played for us. I have nothing against either of them I just think if they're in our best 22, then we are going nowhere.

You don't get games because of loyalty you get them because of ability.

Says zilch about his footballing ability though, doesn't it.

He's been delisted by two clubs.

No.

That was a few years ago. Not saying you're wrong, but he wouldn't be the first person for whom the penny dropped once they reached 25.

Did he even get on the park? He was fairly injury prone. But seems have got it together last few years. Our KPD stocks are low, so mature backup required

It's not like we are St Kilda of 2013 and devoid of KPP. So no need to take a substandard one if there is better other types of available. You're right in saying there's plenty on offer next year KPP wise.

As for this year it's been about midfielders and about a spread of types.

Taller - Cross, Tyson, Hunt

Stronger - Michie, Riley, Harmes if he fills out

Faster - Hunt, JKH, Salem

More skilled - Vince, Salem, JKH

Experienced - Vince, Cross

Ready to break out over next year or two - Tyson, Michie, Riley

This years draft was about making sure that each and every week for next year and beyond we have some options to play different roles within a much better midfield.

Maybe Tippett would've been great defensive cover but as it is we can ask Dunn or Garland to play tall, bring in Pedersen for the right match up or even move Hogan to CHB which I think for a short period of cover would be very good for his footy education.

at the risk of going at a tangent I'll just say theres a theme.. Roos et al have taken a few taller mobiles .

I tend to agree with The Master in that we have looked to ensure a certain level of ability takes the field each week.

    REDLEG PRIDE by Meggs

    Hump day mid-week footy at the Redlegs home ground is a great opportunity to build on our recent improved competitiveness playing in the red and blue.   The jumper has a few other colours this week with the rainbow Pride flag flying this round to celebrate people from all walks of life coming together, being accepted. AFLW has been a benchmark when it comes to inclusivity and a safe workplace.  The team will run out in a specially designed guernsey for this game and also the following week

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe
